low undergrad gpa, strong extracurriculars...taking lsat

Hello All,I would really appreciate some guidance on where I would fit in for law school. I am well aware that my undergrad gpa of 2.4 won't take me far but it was from a prestigious university (if that helps at all...) I'm in the midst of studying for the LSAT and am really concerned that my low gpa will ruin my chances for acceptance.Before I spent wayy too much money on LSAT tutoring and such...I'd really like some advice....I have a very strong extracurricular resume, as I was an all american scholarshiped college athlete (one of the many reasons why my gpa was so low), have spent 2 years sucessfully in the business world, and have a LONG LIST of volunteer projects.Everyone keeps saying make sure my LSAT scores are above 160 & hopefully that will happen but what if it doesn't?? Any advice, ideas to help me stand out as a candidate would be so helpful! Thank you!

Its really hard to say what your chances would be with x lsat score as huge splits get a bit unpredictable. I think with a really, really strong lsat (mid 170s) you'd have a shot at T14, but that's just a guess.

Or, you can see if Kaplan is offering a proctored practice test in your area. The Kaplan practice test is free, but it's designed to give Kaplan a group of people to whom they can market their test prep courses. At the end of the practice test, they'll offer you a discounted rate on the test prep classes. Don't feel pressured to sign up -- they'll e-mail you more coupons later.

After you have an idea of what your LSAT score might be, go to the UGPA/LSAT search screen of the Official Guide to ABA-Approved Law Schools at http://officialguide.lsac.org/ and plug in your numbers.
